Today marks the first day of my final push to get to my target weight of 173lbs.
My weight this morning was 189.6lbs leaving me just over 16lbs of fat to lose by the end of February 2010.
Beyond my target of 173lbs, which to be honest is pretty arbitrary, my real goal is to get a flat stomach. I’m definitely looking to be a 41 year old dad with six pack.
I spent the last decade with a belly and love handles and I’m determined to spend the next one with flat abs.
I outlined I was going to achieve my goal in the post entitled Lose Fat Eating One Meal A Day. It’s a slight misnomer as there are days when I eat more than that and I’ll probably reiterate the plan fairly soon but until then, that post will give you an overview.
Today, being a Monday is a day when I have just one main meal and I’m pleased to say I’ve stuck rigidly to the plan today. I’m really pleased to report I’ve stuck to the plan as I didn’t expect to, having gained 4.5lbs over Christmas and getting used to eating the little extras.
I’ve taken a picture as I said I would. Like all the others it’s taken on a camera phone so the quality isn’t great. That doesn’t matter to me though, I just want to see the progress and even badly taken photos will show me that.
When I took the picture today I wore the same jeans and the same belt I wore in all the other fat loss pictures and was really pleased that even after putting on a few pounds over Christmas the jeans were still loose. The belt doesn’t do it’s job any more, it’s too loose but it was nice to see it on the last hole.
With my weight loss to date I’ve enjoyed all the little triumphs, and the belt being too loose on the last hole is another one of those moments.
